Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers 2025 Advocacy Day at the Colorado State Capitol

On February 6th, physicians and staff from Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers visited the Colorado State Capitol to educate lawmakers about critical healthcare issues affecting the state. Throughout the day, the RMCC team met with over 30 members of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and Governor Polis’ staff. The discussions included introducing RMCC to new legislators, reconnecting with returning members, and addressing key topics such as improving PBM transparency, ensuring adequate funding for Medicaid physician reimbursement in this year’s budget, exploring the state’s role in the 340B program, and examining the future of physician non-compete agreements. After a busy morning, RMCC hosted a private lunch with Senator Kyle Mullica, Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, to discuss the challenges facing community oncology in Colorado. By the end of the day, many legislators and legislative staff had gained valuable insights into the priorities of community oncology and a better understanding of the healthcare challenges facing the state.
